A frustrated driver has recorded 12 months of madness on Lincolnshire's roads and pulled together a compilation video of the most terrifying near misses he witnessed in 2017.

Matt Bridgett was forced to spend more than £200 on a new windscreen after a water balloon was thrown at his car at 60mph and was almost run off the road on his travels in and around Gainsborough last year.

“I just do not know what is going through some people’s minds when they do stuff like this.

The video, which shows more than 20 individual clips, showcases a variety of nail-biting near misses - and the computer technician claims he only does around 5,000 miles a year and lives less than a mile away from his work.

Footage captures cars pulling out in front of oncoming traffic at roundabouts and motorists cutting people off at junctions – there’s even a strange near miss involving a pheasant.

One incident sees a water balloon thrown at Matt’s windscreen, who was travelling at 60mph at the time.

He said: “The lad who did it claimed it was a tomato at first but the video clearly shows it is a water balloon.

“In the end he gave me £200 to replace my windscreen that had been damaged.
